C. Plants perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Explanation: Plants use photosynthesis (in chloroplasts) to make glucose and oxygen from sunlight, CO2, and water. They also carry out cellular respiration (in mitochondria) to break down glucose and release energy (ATP) for cellular processes. Animals cannot perform photosynthesis; they only perform cellular respiration.
